Why Hire a Lawyer?

When a person is arrested or is under investigation for a criminal offence of some sort, it can be difficult to know what to do. The arresting officer may have told you that there is no hope of avoiding a conviction. What you do or don't say early on can be vital to your defence. The criminal charges you face may be so serious that you feel there’s no way to avoid years or even life in prison. It is important to remember that you always have options. With an experienced criminal defence lawyer at your side, you can fight your charges.

A Moloney MacCallum Lawyer can fully investigate your case in order to determine what can be done to protect your rights. Whether this is your first arrest or you are facing serious charges, we can still work to gather evidence and witness testimony on your behalf and develop a legal strategy that maximises your prospects.
